The moon last night wa s surrounded by a corona, due to thepresence of dust particles in the atmosphere. In Lower Hutt yesterday vegetable leaves had a line coating of grey dust, and at Paraparaumu. where the haze almost obscured Kapiti Island, a considerable quantity of dust foil, some glass-houses being coated grey. Trees on the windward side collected a layer of dust and it also accumulated on the windscreens of buses and cars.
